PHILADELPHIA — The Lakers won’t be the only team in Los Angeles with a new point guard come this fall.
Lonzo Ball’s sneakers have to be replaced on the court at UCLA next season, and Steve Alford and company are turning the reins of the offense over to another five-star freshman recruit, Jaylen Hands.
A San Diego native, Hands was the No. 19 ranked player in ESPN’s top-100 of 2017. Hands was a participant here this week in the Under Armour All-America camp for high school prospects and current college players.
Of the collegiate player field, Hands was one of just two rising freshmen to get the invite. (Virginia Tech’s Nickeil Alexander-Walker was the other.)
John Wall told his Kentucky buddy De’Aaron Fox that UCLA’s Lonzo Ball will have a target on his back once he enters the NBA.
“John said you have a few players [who] have actually said it,” Fox said Monday morning on SportsCenter.
He added: “Lonzo is a quiet kid, I’ve known him for years. I didn’t know his dad [LaVar Ball] until our senior year of high school but he does things his own way, let’s put it that way.”
